Interesting post.
With the little time I have at the moment, there are two things I'd like to contribute to this:
-
At no point must this forum be challenge to Claris in any way. We're all FileMaker fans, that and the SalesForce based forum was what prompted @Cecille to setup the original proof of concept. Claris is the reason we have FileMaker and for that we should be grateful. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, but equally healthy speculation and investigation should be encouraged.

The only thing that keeps me visiting a forum is good information. Having a nice collection of contributors is a bonus. The more helpful information posted both proactively, and as a response to a question, the more people will drop in and out to check what is going on. Personally, I'm not a big fan of SEO, I receive many weekly emails promising me that we will be on page 1 of Google, but not everyone can be on page 1 unless it is a very big page. It is the quality of the content that brings visitors.
This discussion is healthy for the forum, but won't entice any visitors. Getting some real world experience on FileMaker 19, CentOS, plug-ins, new techniques, gotcha's etc. is why I would come here.
Kind regards and take care
